    Is there any thinking of developing a weather station?
    Or, is there any compatible to c-bus?

    I want to close tents and shutters when wind excceds a velocity or when rain comes.

    2SC, I'd try a 5504GI and simply use an anemometer as an input. You can trigger an event based on the wind speed being above a certain level. You can also purchase on/off rain sensors which you also use as an input through an AUX module to trigger events as well. Cheers, cc&c.

    Quite a few weather stations have a serial output that you could read with a PAC and then act accordingly.

    A couple of brands are Peet Bros and Davis

    Cheers
